The socialists are finally seeing that their utopian ideas of huge government actually cost "real" money, and they don't ever, ever, ever work. They also realize that the American tax payor is not going to stand for anymore of their hard earned money going toward government waste. The simple fact that these social re-arrangement, tax funded, idiotic boondogles are really pi$$ing off the middle class (their meal tickets) is turning the majority of this country into fiscal conservatives doesn't help their chances of holding control. It's true! When it comes to taxes, the majority of the middle class is saying, that's enough, that's by God enough! If I have to balance my budget, then you'd better balance yours, or it's curtains for YOU! This is costing jobs, it's costing family revenue for education of children (you can't trust the public schools, therefore you must spend for private schools), it's costing "quality of life" for the family and the children, it's costing food and shelter for the children. The middle class is finally waking up to the fact that the government is taking food out of their children's mouths to feed others, taking their children's educational opportunities away from them to give them to others. That should never happen in our Republic!
That sounds selfish, doesn't it. Well, frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn. The laws of man, nature, and God gave me the resposibility of taking care of my children. I would starve so that they could eat, I would die so that they could live.
If the Pols want to do something "for the children" give me my tax money back and I, as their Father, will see to their well being..........it's my job anyway....not some federal bureaucrat! God made Fathers & Mothers because He didn't trust a disinterested party (read bureaucrat) to take care of the precious ones.
I have charity in my soul, and I would donate to take care of the less fortunate, but I can't now because I have to give it to the bandit of taxes! The system is out of control, and the middle class is realizing that. The time has come for the socialists to get out of the way. Giving a liberal politician money is like giving a bottle of whiskey and the car keys to a teenager. I would have more faith in the teenager!
There are two things about me that pretty much determine that I will be conservative 'til I die: One, I'm tight with my money. Two, I can't tolerate inefficiency. And no matter how much the government "cares" or wants to make life wonderful for every living thing in every possible way, it can't do any of those things with efficiency or thrift.
